... a sequential Bayes procedure for explicitly combining evidence from engineering models, ground tests, and flight testing to provide reliability assessments for the one‐shot missile system. By using the ordered Dirichlet distribution for modeling the reliability growth process, Mazzuchi and Soyer (1992...

...T. Genadis Examines the distribution of the time spent by particular jobs in a two‐station reliable production line with a single machine at each station and FIFO queuing discipline. The processing times are assumed to follow the exponential distribution with different means. Develops an analytic...
